On Valentine’s Day, Edgerton Pink Gin wanted to create a campaign that was more than just a promotion, it needed to feel personal, heartfelt and unforgettable. Partnering with Design Happy, led by creative director Will Jones, the concept was simple yet striking: two Chippendale models roaming central London, gifting roses and bottles of Edgerton Pink Gin to women they met along the way.
Our role at Kumo London was to turn this one-day event into a cinematic story. From Trafalgar Square to Leicester Square and across to Oxford Circus, our cameras followed the models’ journey, documenting genuine moments of surprise, delight and laughter as strangers were met with Valentine’s roses and pink gin.
Working closely under the direction of Will Jones and the Edgerton Pink Gin team, we shaped the footage into an elegant short film. The final edit captured not just the spectacle of the activation, but the intimacy of connection, aligning perfectly with the brand’s romantic identity.
